If you didn’t know, for over 13 years I worked with an organization called Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals<\/a>. Even though I recently left the company, those were some of the most fulfilling years of my entire life. \u00a0I had experiences few will ever have and met people – mostly kids – who I will never forget.\u00a0CMN Hospitals was founded by none other than Marie Osmond<\/a> – yes, that one and John Schneider<\/a> – yes, that one.<\/p>\n

Over those years I had a number of occasions to spend time with John and Marie, and since these are typically entertainment and fundraising events, we were working. \u00a0I have also seen them in some very sincere moments when they realize this “thing” they helped to create 30 years ago has literally helped millions and millions of kids – it’s hard to not get caught up in the emotion when you are with one of those kids who saved because of the help that has been provided by a hospital you support. You’ve given them life and hope and another chance.<\/p>\n

I never see them caught up in their own lives. Also rare is capturing that moment when it happens.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Cowart<\/a>, did capture it.<\/p>\n

You should see this.<\/a><\/p>\n
